new to gimp, have only used preview and photoshop.
I have a base layer with a building layout. I guess I am adding a second layer and in that layer I want to paste in 15 disks, each with its own text so there will be 30 elements. I want to grab and maybe slightly resize, and move each one to my satisfaction. The only way I am finding to do this is that I have 31 layers, one for each element.
I've tried searching but I think I am wording wrong- can't find the answer for my situation. Is it possible to paste a number of elements into a layer and move each one about?
thanks

No, individually movable elements must be on their own layers. What you can do it put each text and its disk in a layer group, so you can move the layer group around. If necessary you can also make groups of groups so that you can move several texts together (and with their discs).
